Tog Takes on Mac OS X 10.3
Rick Zeman writes "Bruce 'Tog' Tognazzini, founder of Apple's Human Interface Group years ago, has finally pointed his electrons to Mac OS X 10.3. He's been dormant for while, and hasn't said anything since the early days of Mac OS X. His new articles include 'Panther: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly' and 'The Top Nine Reasons why the Dock Sucks,' all coming from A Guy Who Knows."
fp. w00t.
Anyone have a mirror? I'm really curious on the dock issue, but the site is already /.ed.

It's like "lickable" ... with the mouth open. ;)

This will probably get modded as flamebait, but here goes...
Why is it that everyone rips up Microsoft for being a monopoly, yet in the same breath praises Apple? As I see it, Apple is an even bigger monopoly, since they control the hardware, as well as the software. Also, they are way over-priced. It seems like OS-X is more like the OS for the rich.
I'm a well-paid software engineer, but I can't stomach paying so much for their gear. I am no fan of Microsoft. I just am baffled by the apparent double-standard. Any Apple fans care to comment?

Just an FYI for the moderators...
There are three kinds of tools:
1) Those that perform a function (ie- an OS, environment, applications, etc).
2) The one in your pants.
3) Those that post inane comments on forums talking smack about #1 because it makes them feel like their #2 is big.
